Calling it right now, SLDR 430 (Silver bottom) will be $399 with a "Ehh" shaft and the 430 "TP" will be $499 with a pretty good shaft, better looks and a higher tour presence. Because of all of that, everyone will buy the TP model when they probably belong in the regular 430 version or even the 460.

I am happy to see them making a 430 version, I just didn't know they were going to bring out 2. Unless I'm completely wrong and that "Tour Preferred/All Black" is the V2 example. In that case $499 just went to $999.

I sure hope not, all in all the blacked out head is sick but I mean the badge NEEDS TO BE ON THE SIDE OF THESE CLUBS! Why doesnt TMag get it through their thick heads?! Oh wait...theyre too worried about selling mister "i hit it 225 with a 40 yard cut" a driver and not giving us good players what we want with drivers and such

They're trying to really bring back the Tour Preferred line, and gain more respect in the "better players" market. They believe they were getting too casual with the use of the "TP" with their recent releases, so they're trying to differentiate the new products from the lackluster TP releases of late. As for the "I hit it 225 with a 40 yard cut," there are plenty of TM offerings in game improvement drivers. That really isn't what they're trying to do; quite the opposite actually. So is the badge going to be on the side? Nope. But is the driver going to perform well and help regain Taylormade's share of the low-handicap market? Most likely.

Lol. Only on WRX. Justin Rose did fine without a TP badge at the US Open....I'm sure he would've set a scoring record had there been a TP badge on his clubs.....I don't see what the obsession with the "badge" If it's "Tour Preferred" or "Tour" that isn't sufficient?

No, that is not sufficient. As you yourself have admitted, you don't get it, which is fine. I care about the badge. You apparently don't. Either way is fine, just don't see the point of this post.
